How to install doors faster

I’ve been a contractor for 10 years and have installed lots of doors the traditional way. But I recently discovered this little gem: The Quick Door Hanger is a simple bracket that you screw to the doorjamb (six per door). Then you screw the bracket to the wall framing. That’s it—no fumbling with shims, no nail holes in the jamb. And if the fit isn’t quite right, just unscrew a screw or two to readjust. It’s fast and foolproof, and it costs less than $6 per door. Working alone, I was able to hang six doors in two hours. For full instructions, retailers and a video, go to thequickdoorhanger.com.

We just bought a few new doors to replace in our home. I hope that we can get them installed within the next week. We bought all the doors in mahogany and I am excited to see how they look with the newly decorated rooms. http://www.kohlen.com.au
